WEST POINT, N.Y. – Army West Point men's rugby is set to take on Rugby East foe Life University in its fall season finale on Saturday afternoon. Kickoff is scheduled for 12:00 p.m. from Anderson Rugby Complex.
YouTube will provide the stream.
The Black Knights enter the match 7-1 overall with a 4-1 mark against Rugby East opponents after winning their previous four contests. The Running Eagles head into the contest with a 4-2 overall record and 4-1 record in conference play.
Army trails the all-time series 6-2 against Life University and is seeking its first win over the Running Eagles since the 2021-22 season, a 39-18 victory in the USA Rugby D1A Quarterfinals at West Point.
Last time out, the Black Knights rolled past Mary Washington 64-26 in their return home to Anderson Rugby Complex. Luke Lentfer scored his first try of the season to open the scoring for Army in the sixth minute, before the Black Knights tacked on three more tries to command a 28-0 lead heading into the break. Max Doerfler and John Benson carried the momentum into the second half, each scoring tries in the first five minutes of the second half to mark six unanswered tries for Army. After surrendering three consecutive tries in the next 11 minutes of play, Benjamin Kemp got the Black Knights back on the board in the 60th minute to give Army a 45-21 lead. Mary Washington found the try zone again eight minutes later, but an Army penalty try followed by two more tries from the Black Knights closed out the match. Nine different Black Knights scored a try in the contest.
Nick Trout leads Army in scoring with 110 points and 51 conversions on the season, followed by Porter Kuebler with 60 points on 12 tries. Benson and Howie Heller are tied for third on the team with 30 points on six tries each.
The match against Life University concludes the 2026 Fall schedule. The 2027 Spring schedule will be announced at a later date.
